Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? V Listen and re-mark the stressed words with your marker. After you've put in the accent marks where you think they belong, take one of the colored translucent markers and as I read very slowly, mark the words that I stress. I am going to exaggerate the words far more than you'd normally hear in a normal reading of the paragraph. You can mark either the whole word or just the strong syllable, whichever you prefer, so that you have a bright spot of color for where the stress should fall.

Note If you do the exercise only in pencil, your eye and mind will tend to skip over the accent marks. The spots of color, however, will register as "different" and thereby encourage your pitch change.

This may strike you as unusual, but trust me, it works. CD 1 Track 24 There is no absolute right or wrong in regard to intonation because a case can be made for stressing just about any word or syllable, but you actually reveal a lot about yourself by the elements you choose to emphasize. For example, if you say, Hello, this intonation would indicate doubt. This is why you say, Hello? Or when you go into a house and you don't know who's there because you don't see anyone.

But if you're giving a speech or making a presentation and you stand up in front of a crowd and say, Hello, the people would probably laugh because it sounds so uncertain. This is where you'd confidently want to say Hello, my name is So-and-so. A second example is, my name is—as opposed to my name is.

If you stress name, it sounds as if you are going to continue with more personal information: My name is So-and-so, my address is suchand-such, my blood type is O. Since it may not be your intention to give all that information, stay with the standard—Hello, my name is So-and-so. Try it: I'm taking American Accent Training. I think I'm quite wonderful. An earnest, hard-working person might emphasize words this way: I'm taking American Accent Training Can I learn this stuff?

I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible I'll force myself to enjoy it if I have to. Although the only way to get it is to practice all the time 24 hours a day. A Doubting Thomas would show up with: I should pick up on but I might not the American intonation pattern pretty easily, but it looks pretty hard, too. I've been talking to a lot of Americans lately, and they tell me that I'm easier to understand but I think they're just being polite.

Use your rubber band, give a clear pitch change to the highlighted words, and think about the meaning that the pitch is conveying. Start a new staircase for every stressed word. There usually is more than one staircase in a sentence. New sentences don't have to start new staircases; they can continue from the previous sentence until you come to a stressed word.

I'll read the beginning sentences. Check the first sentence against the example. Then put the words of the second sentence on a staircase, based on the way I read it. Remember, I'm exaggerating to make a point. V Write out the rest of the staircases. Exercise Spelling and Numbers Track 28 CD 1 Just as there is stress in words or phrases, there is intonation in spelling and numbers. Americans seem to spell things out much more than other people.

In any bureaucratic situation, you'll be asked to spell names and give all kinds of numbers—your phone number, your birth date, and so on. There is a distinct stress and rhythm pattern to both spelling and numbers—usually in groups of three or four letters or numbers, with the stress falling on the last member of the group. Just listen to the words as I say them, then repeat the spelling after me. It can change meaning and pronunciation. Here you will get the chance to play with the sounds.

Remember, in the beginning, the meaning isn't that important—just work on getting control of your pitch changes. Use your rubber band for each stressed word. My keys? I have two.

I have, too. How many kids do you have? I've been to Europe. Why do you work so hard? I have to. Some longer words that are stressed on the first syllable squeeze weak syllables right out. Cover up the regular columns and read the words between the brackets. At this point, we won't be concerned with why we are stressing a particular syllable— that understanding will come later. Exercise Syllable Patterns CD 1 Track 32 In order to practice accurate pitch change, repeat the following column. Each syllable will count as one musical note.

Remember that words that end in a vowel or a voiced consonant will be longer than ones ending in an unvoiced consonant. Do it! Sam's the boss.
